The form is in the right sidebar and says "Want To Bring Out Your Creative Mojo?" The exercise was to creatively express your femininity. And because writing is my main form of self-expression, I chose to share the following...

Have you ever noticed how the most significant events happen when you are not pining or asking for them? This truly incredible phenomenon is what I am grateful for this week.

I love the feeling of starting new projects. That's likely the reason why I do it so often...even if I shouldn't. My latest endeavor is a new non-fiction book entitled, Your Best Journey: For Women. It is the first of a series that I plan on doing over the next year.
